...﻿Chicago
Prohibition-era musical based on a 1926 play of female criminals in Chicago. It is a tale of sin, corruption, knockout dancing, and edge-of-your-story showstoppers that explore feminism as well as the relationship between sex and marriage. Not only does it entail social issues, but the changes in theatre too.
Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly are main characters of the musical. The plot follows them throughout their journey to freedom desperately trying to keep fame to their names with scandals and drama. (1920s)
Original:
Based on a 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins. A claimed reason for its more recent success is due to the way she crafted the play, with musical numbers as the plot.
Watkin’s set the foundation on the Kander and Ebb production because she made personal. Events that occurred within the musical, are historical events that actually happened in Chicago that she wrote about first hand as a reporter in the 1920s. It is composed in the 1920s vaudeville style, but modernized by the issues at hand. The issues of society along with the feminist views exhibit Chicago’s impact in the history of musical theatre.
Emphasized show-biz and media, showing its large role in the 1970s happenings.
The vaudeville style effected the music heavily. Stylistically, vaudeville brings not only drama, but comedy in the duration of the short acts. All That Jazz is an example of this.

...Bear Baiting:
The Terrible Truth
Have you ever heard a child scream in pain?
Young bears are said to sound just like a screaming child as they are ripped apart by dogs.
Such is the beastly sport of bear baiting.
With few bears left in the world due to the additional problems of habitat loss and game hunting, why are we chaining defenceless bears to a post and making dogs attack them? It is illegal, damaging to the eco system, and cruel to the animals involved. Is it supposed to be entertaining? This type of sport can only be testament to the sadistic nature of some humans. It is unjust, disgusting, and cruel. This horrible blood ‘sport’ must be abolished.
Dating back to medieval times, bear baiting is a sport that is, thankfully, banned in many countries already. However, it is still being practised in some places. Young bears are taken from their mothers at an early age by baiters, and their teeth and claws are ripped out, with no anaesthetic or disinfectants. As a result of this poorly executed procedure, most of these young bears will suffer infection, yet will receive no medical attention. Then the nose (or in some cases the tongue) is pierced and a metal ring pushed through it. Again, there are no anaesthetics of any kind, but the young bears will have to learn to cope with such pain if they are to survive life in the baiting...

...Chicago
Launched in 1975, the musical Chicago, created by a talented pair of composers and producers that included both John Kander and Fred Ebb later known as Kander and Ebb. Kander was born on March 18, 1927 in Kansas City, Missouri. His exposure to music began at an early age as a result of having had tuberculosis as a baby. During this time, Kander was cut off and not allowed to be around other people, that separation developed his ability for sound. Kander started piano lessons at the age of six. His parents and brother would often spend evenings playing the piano and singing. Kander’s first successes came while he was a student at Oberlin College, where he attended with James Goldman, a lyricist he had known since childhood and together produced songs. In 1956 Kander started his Broadway career by filling in for another pianist who was on vacation, from that point on he became a pianist on many musicals and his career continued.

Chicago has a history steeped in growth of infrastructure, devastating natural disasters, and everything in between. It first was settled in the late 1700’s and has been growing exponentially ever since. It’s a city of commerce and opportunity for many incoming immigrants and settlers to start a fresh life. This place became one of the most desirable cities in America to live and became the new home for many people from the south, including African Americans. Many European immigrants also tagged along with these black people coming from the southern states and made Chicago very culturally diverse over time. During the Second Great Migration between 1940 and 1970, roughly five million African Americans left the rural south for the north in the biggest and greatest mass migration in American history. Many southerners were already urbanized after World War II, as many southern states had developed their own cities. These black migrants were known to be more motivated and had better skills to apply into their lives at work and at home.
The reason for this massive movement of African Americans laborers and sharecroppers to Chicago was to escape violence and segregation. They also desired the relief of economic burdens that have haunted them throughout their lives. However, these...

...Why not farmer Smith, telecommuter Smith, or hog butcher Smith? Chicago, by Carl Sandburg, gives ordinary jobs, such as a hog butcher, the honor of titles. Sandburg opens the poem with well worded apostrophe by giving the city of Chicago these honored jobs. Chicago does not symbolize these jobs, or contain people who have these jobs; Chicago actually has those jobs. After Sandburg establishes Chicago's different jobs, he goes on to talk about what other people say about Chicago. Although these things are phrased as accusations, the speaker does not interpret them this way; he or she admits that these problems are a real part of the city. The speaker does not get defensive in any way; instead, he or she goes straight to listing all of the positive things that Chicago has that the opposing cities do not. Maybe the opposing city's spokesperson leaves, or maybe the speaker just talks over them, either way, the speaker gets more and more excited as he or she describes Chicago until in the end he or she repeats what is said in the opening lines. Carl Sandburg attests the tenacity and iron will of lower class citizens residing in Chicago in many of his poems, including Mill doors, They will say, The shovel man, Passers by, subway, muckers, and of course, Chicago. Carl Sandburg uses personification and diction to show that Chicago is...

...anti-Chinese action was most critical in the Pacific Coast; as a result, it caused the dispersion of Chinese that had settled in California to the mid-western and eastern states.(Chicago-Chinatown, 1996)1
Many Chinese migrated eastward to some major cities, and some of them chose Chicago. In the 1870s, the first Chinese immigrants arrived in Chicago. Although Chinese in Chicago endured the same restrictions and discrimination that happened in other cities of America, the population of Chinese increased progressively. In 1890, the first Chinese community was built along Clark Street, which is between Van Buren and Harrison Street. Thirty years after, because of the unreasonable increase of housing rent cost, most Chinese moved to the south near Cermak Road and Wentworth Avenue, which was Italian and Croatian neighborhood.(Chicago-Chinatown, 1996)1
Soon after the Chinese had settled in the neighborhood, they tried to expand the Cermak Road due to the increasing demand for housing. However, half of the housing plan was cut because some major city projects needed to use this area. Due to many restrictions on the growth of Chinese community, it significantly affected the demography. The gender ratio was unbalanced because family's life style had changed. In 1910 there were only 65 Chinese women and 1,713 men in Chicago, and by 1926 women were still less than 6 percent of the population....
